NHRA, like most big business, is probably run by lawyers and accountants,
They are operating a business and are looking to profit.
What should we say to Glendora?
We don`t seem to have much juice...
But, I`m for finding a rep.from D1.

Actually NHRA has not been a "not for profit" organization for many years. Everyone thinks it is but it is not. It is also self insured. Jim

Latest tax return I found was 2014, and it sure was a non-profit 501c at that time. Did it change in 2015?\
